Royal Berkshire Regiment (d.18th Nov 1916) Frederick Whale was my grandfather I have very little knowledge of him and I do wish I had more. I have one memory from my mother, the story is that my mother was born immediately my grandmother heard of the death of her husband. Also my mother was named after the battle that my grandfather was killed in, and the battle was Beaumont-Hamel. Nigel Attenborough Add to this record.   L/Cpl.

Thomas Barlow 1st Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment (d.5th Nov 1918) Thomas Barlow was born in February 1887 in the small downland village of West Ilsley in rural Berkshire. His father was a shepherd and in the 1901 Census he was employed as a teamster on a farm. By then the family had moved to Cholsey. Thomas signed up at Brock Barracks in Reading, for 9 years service in 1904 at the age of 18. He saw service in Ireland and India. He was placed on the Reserve in 1911. He married Edith Ellen Maskell in 1912 at the Wesleyan Chapel in Caversham and he found employment with Great Western Railway as a Lineman. They had two girls, Amy (1912) and Winifred (1916) before Britain declared war against Germany and Thomas returned to serve with the British Expeditionary Force in France from 5th of August 1914. He was wounded in May 1915 and returned home to recuperate. Whilst at home he was interviewed by the Berkshire Chronicle Newspaper of his account of service with the Royal Berkshire Regiment and it was published on 20th of August 1915. Thomas starts by saying: "We embarked at Southampton on the afternoon of August 11th, and arrived at midnight at Le Havre, where we anchored until daylight. We then proceeded up the river to Rouen, where we disembarked and marched through Rouen to a camp just above the racecourse. We had a fine reception as we went through, as I believe we were the first English regiment to pass through this town. We stayed at this camp for two days, and then took a train to a place nearer the Belgian frontier. We marched from there to Venerolles, where we had ten days of good hard field training. We thought at the time we were being hard done by, but we found out afterwards that it came in very useful to us. After the ten days at Venerolles we marched nearer to the frontier to Landrecies, where we billeted in some French barracks for the night, continuing the march to the frontier next day, which was Saturday. Early on Sunday morning we had our first bit of excitement, as we were told we had to march to a place not mentioned, and hold it at all costs." He then describes his involvement in action at various places and the exemplary behaviour of an Officer of the Regiment. The Headings for each of these places, etc, is too much to give in this article, but the headings for each bit of action are as follows, The Battle of Mons; The Retreat From Mons; The Action at Maroilles; The Coolness of Major Finch; Recovering a Gun; The German Retreat; An Unfortunate Mistake; The Incident of Metz Valley; Fighting Near Ypres; The News of the Emden; A Gallant Party; Winter Hardships; Helping the 2nd Battalion. The Article finishes with: "Shells were coming over amongst us very heavily, but our artillery were doing some marvelous work compared with the enemy. On the third day we were given our orders to get ready to make an advance. Whilst getting prepared for this I was hit by a splinter of a shell, and left for England after ten months of one of the worst wars in history." Thomas was home in England from 19th of May 1915 until 3rd of July 1918. We have no details of his life in Caversham with his wife and family, but we do know that they had one more child, a son, Thomas Richard who was born in May 1918. Without him I would not be writing this story as he was my father who saw service with Royal Air Force in WW2. Back to Thomas (Senior) he was posted to France and was serving with the London Rifle Brigade when he contracted what became known as the Spanish Flu and died in Boulogne on 5th of November 1918, aged 31, just six days before the end of the Great War. He was subsequently buried at the British Military Cemetery at Terlincthun, Wimille, near Boulogne. He was awarded the 1914 Star, The British War medal and the Allied Victory medal, affectionately known as Pip, Squeak & Wilfred. He served with the 1st Royal Berkshire Regiment, Gloucestershire Regiment and 33rd London Regiment. Add to this record.   Pte. George Hammond 1st Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment Pte George Hammond joined the Royal Berkshire Regiment of Infantry in June 1914 shortly after his 18th birthday. A month later he was transferred to the 1st Battalion. In his civilian life he was a Porter of Fancy Leather Goods. George had originally joined the Special Reserves in February 1914 at Stratford and his medical history describes him as having a fair complexion, light brown hair and dark blue eyes. At 5' 5" tall and weighing only 108 lbs he was considered to be in fair physical shape with a fully expanded chest measurement of 33". He was based in Aldershot when war broke out and was soon sent to the front line with the British Expiditionary Force, moving to the 3rd Battalion on 8th August 1914 then back to the 1st Battalion on 4th May 1915. Just over a year later, fighting at Vimy Ridge, on 23rd of May 1916 George was seriously wounded, suffering gunshot wounds to his right knee and having to have part of his left forearm amputated before being sent back to England on the 23rd of July 1916. George spent the next year in hospital having his forearm re-amputated and operations on his right leg. Finally, fitted with an artificial limb he was discharged from the Army and released into his mothers care at 22 Every Street, Kingsland Rd, London N. At only 22 years of age George's life was over. Despite having grown to 5' 10" he now had an artificial hand and his right leg was virtually useless, wearing a caliper and a 5" high boot. Little is known of what happened next to George Hammond, but it appears he never married, and in the 1939 Register he can be found without any family and shown as a boarder in Shoreditch and described as having 'No Occupation, Disabled Ex-Soldier'. George passed away on the fifteenth of January 1947 at the age of 50 years. He had finally found work and was employed as a Time-Keeper. His death was a sad and lonely one at 79 Hows Street, Shoreditch, with Cause of Death stated as a) Pneumonia, b) Myocardial degeneration, and c) Influenza. His landlord found his body and caused it to be buried. This is my tribute to a Great Uncle I never knew and have never seen a photograph of. My Grandfather was separated from his brother and they never found one another, despite searching in the 1930's. It is thanks to DNA testing I have found my ancestor's family and feel a great sadness reading about a young man, proud to fight for his Country but ended up broken and lonely. God Rest Your Soul, Great Uncle George, not forgotten. Evelyn Threlfall Add to this record.   C/Sgt Arthur Cranley Coveney 1st Btn.

From your loving son, Alex" Alexander is buried in Forenville Military Cemetery in Nord, France.I am very glad to have learned about my uncle's wartime service.
